Just the one addiction
generally, i don't have an addictive personality. obviously, i have indulged in the usual vices, as we all have (fags, alcohol, weed, heroin), but nothing i couldn't walk away from after only everyday use for several years. but i do have one terrible weakness, one from which i can't escape, one that i have to use every fibre of my weak willed mind and body to resist: those games of the easy-to-learn-difficult-to-master variety.

i have missed trains and buses, been late for school, failed to give in 4 years worth of homework, lost a total of 10% of my BA in english lit, failed to deliver my annual and biannual budget revisions on time, and got home from work late so consistently that my then boyfriend came to suspect me of having an affair (i was, actually, but not with someone from work) all because of playing tetris, snakes, snakes II, backgammon (which, in the end, i had to delete from my phone), worms, solitaire and more recently coign (courtesy of b3ta newsletter, actually).

thank god connect 4 is a two player game or i may never have made it to school or work at all :(
